Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that have been simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 15 pages long, 8-10 pages at least, including the bibliography and appendices, and should follow the paper template.

Submissions are to be made to the submission website in pdf format. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the workshop; otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings.

Submitted full papers will be uploaded to Crosscheck for Plagiarism first. Any paper submitted for the conference is reviewed by at least two international reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area. Based on the reviewer’s comments, papers are accepted, rejected or accepted with revision. If the comments are not addressed well in the improved paper, then the paper is sent back to the authors to make further revisions. The accepted papers will be invited to be presented at the conference then included in the conference proceedings.

Paper Reviewing: The paper selection will follow a double-blind review process, meaning that both the authors and reviewers will remain anonymous during the paper selection process.

For further inquiries, please contact the conference assistant Ms. Ailsa Lim via apcs_conf@outlook.com.
